College was never a part of her life, especially crowds of humans were something that suffocated her, yet Kim Taehyung brought many new experiences in her life. From day-to-day visits to him at college to every evening as a date was becoming something she looked forward to. Taehyung was nearly in every thought of hers when there was no code Seoyeon and he became the second most important person in her life, she would do anything for him.

Looking between the packed cup of Latte and Caramel Macchiato, she pondered what to take for him, the raven head boy she loved dearly oblivious to one who approached her placing a hand over her shoulder. Out of instinct, her fist rose as she turned around and halted as soon as the face in her sight looked familiar.

"Jimin? You caught me off guard"

"Uh, Hey Jiahn, sorry I never meant to startle you" Jimin nervously smiled and kept his eyes on Venom's clenched fist. He scratched his head, feeling uneasy and unsure about what might have happened if it had hit him in the face. Ouch!

"It's fine, why are you here?"

"Um it's Taehyung's birthday today you know"

Birthday?

"Ah~ I see, so?"

"So, uh, we need to celebrate it, of course"

Celebrate? A birthday? Why would we celebrate a time when the person is only getting older and weaker and nearer to death, that's absurd! She thought peering at the blossom-haired male.

"Celebrate?"

"Yeah"

Okay, so birthdays are meant to be celebrated, but why?

"So, what do we do? An auction or a masquerade?" It just went above Jimin's head as if she grew a tongue of Cleopatra out of nowhere, he let out a sigh.

"Auctions on birthdays? No silly"

"Then? You got a better option, Hey how's a pool kill?"

"Uh! How 'bout you just come with me?" Venom remained dumbfounded as she glanced at Jimin, but proceeded to follow while being guided by his firm grasp.

---------------------------------

Taehyung roamed the school grounds, searching for the girl he had been looking for since morning. Despite his efforts, she seemed to be nowhere in sight, and with the third bell ringing, he felt increasingly frustrated and disheartened.

There was no answer to his calls or texts and it left him feeling lonelier on the same desk now that he was so used to having her around every day.

Where are you Jiahn?

--------------------------------

"Jimin why are we here?" Looking around at the numerous shops in the mall, she asked inquisitively.

"Why else would we be here? Jiahn nice joke" Jimin chuckled, while her gaze fixed on him. She continued to peer at him until his laughter subsided, and he stopped laughing altogether.

"I'm not joking"

"Right, Come on"

Walking through the brightly lit shops of the mall, she stumbled upon the happy side of the world, a realm she had nearly thought existed. It was as if a veil had been lifted, revealing a medley of colors and emotions she never knew existed. Each step she took through this newfound world filled her heart with awe and wonder, leaving her astonished to see that humans enjoyed this side of the world and that it was their true happiness.

The vibrant laughter of children at play, the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the warm smiles of strangers passing by, for some reason they seemed to pique her curiosity. It was something she was experiencing more day by day, what she witnessed with Taehyung was a safe space with its own wonders, and what Jimin showed her was a whole other side of the globe, the one where the sun shone all day long.

"We are still left with loads and oh God we don't have much time"

"Calm down"

"I can't. It's Taehyung's birthday, Jiahn"

"I've never celebrated birthdays so I can't understand how much it means to you, but it's nice to see you care about him a lot. Don't worry Jimin we'll do it together" The said left Jimin with many unanswered questions but her last words left him oozing a warm smile as a tired sigh left his mouth.

"Thank God" Jimin let out a tired groan and placed the last shopping bag inside the trunk he locked it up. A sweet clank of keys rustled through his hearing and he felt a tug on his pocket, Jimin craned his head back to see the girl pulling out his car keys and grasping them tightly while she walked towards it.

"Oi Jiahn-"

"Leave it to me and rest, just direct me around the route"

So, that's what she's like? Tough on the edges with a sweet soft center. Perfect for my brother. Jimin thought with a smile kissing his lips lazily.

"Yes, well out of the lot, take the west wing to Town Squire" He spoke sliding into the car, securing the door shut and leaning back over the seat to rest.

"Jiahn?" Jimin called him softly.

"Yes, Jimin" Her tone was soft as her eyes were focused on the road forth.

"Thankyou"

"For what?"

"For everything"

Venom turned her gaze towards him, her confusion evident in her expression. The emotional rollercoaster of words left her feeling perplexed, as she struggled to fully grasp the depth of their meaning. It was hard to reach down to the depth of words, since she was still navigating through unfamiliar territory, trying to comprehend the complexities of human emotions and experiences.

Observing the questioning look on her face, Jimin felt the need to provide some clarity. He began to speak, aiming to offer insights and understanding to the enigmatic girl before him.

"For coming in Taehyung's life. For making him happy. For accepting him with all your heart. For being his pain killer... And for being a nice friend to me. I'm really grateful that I got to meet you. I'm glad I have someone to trust in his case now"

"Me too, I trust you too in his case, Jimin"

"I promise to always keep your trust Jiahn, You can count on me" His words earned him a glance, and her confusion mingled with a sigh. The weight of the emotions and complexities she was trying to understand seemed to linger in the air. Despite her puzzlement, there was a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes, a desire to grasp the depth of his words.

"What if someday you regret your words?"

"I won't 'cause I know you will have a reason for everything you do..."

A reason for everything I do?

Words that gave sensations like electric jolts or chills zapping past her existence, this was the first time someone had voiced such words to her, words that needed no description to be understood.

"...and I'll try my best to understand you Jiahn, you were right not everything is to be told some things are meant to be felt and I feel your loyalty and care for Taehyung, I've seen it"

"I've got your back too" Venom stopped in a parking lot and turned to Jimin with a genuine and warm smile that seemed to radiate from the depths of her heart. The confusion and puzzlement from before were replaced by a moment of pure connection and sincerity.

--------------------

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the peaceful town, Venom sauntered into the area.

"Jimin, are we celebrating here or in the room upstairs?" She asked leaving the boy to ponder.

"What do you mean?" He asked looking at her questionably.

"I mean we decorated two spaces right, this one and the room up to the left so where do I put the cake" She scratched her head explaining to him.

"Jiahn?" The atmosphere around Jimin turned solemn, as his face assumed a serious expression. Venom could sense the weight of his emotions, and the air grew heavy with a profound seriousness.

"What?"

"That room is not for cake cutting, have you ever cut one being on the bed?"

"Uh"

"Have you dated before Taehyung?" Jimin asked her crossing his arms over his well-built chest.

"No"

"You kidding?"

"No, I wasn't interested in such stuff or boys or girls or anyone" she simply shrugged. The passing seconds seemed to stretch into eternity as Jimin grappled with the loss of the right words.

"Do you know anything about dating? Like stuff and how the two people you know relish each other" In response to Jimin's carefully chosen words, Venom locked eyes with him, a silent understanding passing between them and Jimin knew the oblivion in those eyes was colorless.

"Well, Me and Taehyung kiss a lot and well we eat together" Jimin facepalmed himself and shook his head.

"What happened?" With a tilt of her head, she gazed at him with concern etched in her eyes. His heavy sigh spoke volumes, and she felt there was more beneath the surface that he hadn't fully expressed yet.

"You... Happened, even kindergartens know how to date Jiahn. Come here" Jimin took Venom's hand and led her to the couch, sitting down beside her, seeking solace in their shared presence.

"You love Taehyung, right?" With their hands intertwined, Jimin asked earning an immediate nod from the girl.

"Yes, I do"

"Then, you should know, how to express your love to him"

"Of course, I do I tell him that all the time"

"No, I don't mean verbally only" He peered into her eyes trying to see if she got the clue or not.

"Kissing?"

"A bit more intense..."

"Um~ biting?"

"Huh? biting?" A flicker of surprise danced in Jimin's eyes as he absorbed Venom's swift response, the unexpectedness of it catching him off guard.

"Yeah, he likes it"

"No, I mean something beyond this level"

"Fucking?" The bluntness made him choke at first.

"Y-yeah... More like making love. You must know what I mean now" Jimin said as a matter of fact-ly earning a shrug from the former.

"I get what you mean, though I haven't done it before, I do surely know how to"

"Wait what! You never had sex before?"

"Eh what? Of course, not"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Not at all"

"Yah~ Don't you two have needs. Me and Jungkook-"

"I ain't horny like you, now get off I need to get ready too" A mischievous smirk played on Venom's lips, making her playful intentions clear. She was enjoying teasing Jimin, reveling in the moment of lightheartedness amidst the depth of their conversation.

"Look who's talking, the one who bites huh, you surely are horny"

"But he survives though I'll make Taehyung go horny today for sure" Her teasing caused him to choke, prompting him to hastily grab a glass of water to soothe his throat. Despite his minor discomfort, Venom couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of him, finding amusement in the playful exchange between them.

"So, you ready for it?" She simply shrugged, "Girl, you really are something"

--------------

"This is so not fair- I ain't talking to her at all, she's always- She's- ugh~" In a swirl of emotions, Taehyung stormed out of his class, huffing and puffing as he stomped through the sea of students. Everyone around him couldn't help but notice the unusual display of agitation in the typically quiet boy.

"I wanted to have a surprise date for my birthday not disappear on me as a gift. Why does she always do that" Amidst the curious gazes of onlooking students, Taehyung's whining echoed through the hallway as he buried his face in his locker. His distress was evident as he continued to complain and mutter to himself, almost on the verge of whimpering. With frustration still lingering, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and made his way towards the exit doors of the department, seeking solace away from the prying eyes and the source of his frustrations.

"Worst birthday ever- Hey watch where you go-" Amidst his distress, Taehyung accidentally bumped into someone, their eyes meeting in a surprising and unexpected reunion. Jimin donned a dashing black suit that exuded charm and sophistication, drawing the eyes of many admirers. Taehyung couldn't help but be captivated, his gaze moving from head to toe, filled with awe and admiration. The sight of Taehyung's admiration brought a wide and genuine smile to Jimin's face, cherishing the moment of their unexpected encounter.

"I know I'm handsome and hot but the question is are you not straight now cause otherwise, we can't work out you know"

"Shut up brat, but you look gorgeous yes"

"Thanks, but why are you still at college, so late?"

"I had evening classes bruh~ just got done"

"Good, 'cause I came here for you"

"Me? Why, are we going somewhere? Where, why" He scratched his head.

"You talk too much" Grabbing onto the boy's backpack, Jimin pulled him along giving a deaf ear to his complaints and struggles to free himself.

----------------

He stood there quietly peering at Jimin's apartment door contemplating whether his best friend was playing a trick on him or what, 'cause what he asked for couldn't be so simple right, just opening a door won't be so simple.

"Just open the damn door Taehyung" Jimin facepalmed himself. Taehyung folded his arms on his chest and turned to the former.

"So, your little plastic ass spiders can bibbity babbity dance in my face or I could get my late shower with a bucket of water slamming in head?"

"Taehyung just open the door?" Jimin nudged him again.

"No"

"Open it, dork"

"No"

"Jeez, Taehyung" Jimin leaned close and twisted the knob around. As the door creaked open, Taehyung stumbled backward, caught off guard by the sudden movement. He stumbled back nearly tripping when tender hands enveloped his frame, holding him from falling.

With wide eyes, Taehyung turned his head to meet the owner of those familiar hands, and there she stood—Jiahn. The one he had been waiting for all day. Dressed in the blood-red cocktail dress with blood-red lipstick-coated lips and those intense eyes, Taehyung forgot to breathe altogether. She held him close as if the world conspired to reunite them at this very moment. Their eyes locked, and time seemed to slow as he became spellbound by her gaze. He couldn't help but stare, his mouth slightly agape, as if drawn into a captivating chapter of their shared story.

A moment passed by and what brought him out of his trance was the loud sounds of party poppers that Jimin burst near his ears. Taehyung jolted breaking from the trance and looking up at the glitters all diffused in the air.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM TAEHYUNG" He exclaimed in pure joy.

"Happy birthday Taehyungie" Jimin couldn't contain his excitement and joy. He squealed with delight and enveloped Taehyung in a warm, affectionate hug, swaying them gently from side to side. Taehyung, however, remained entranced by Venom, his eyes fixated on her as if she held some kind of magnetic allure that he couldn't resist, even in the midst of Jimin's heartfelt embrace. The moment became a captivating tableau, each character in their own mesmerizing chapter of the unfolding tale.

Taehyung's heart raced as he beheld Venom, dressed up in a way that seemed to transcend beauty. A blush crept up his cheeks, and a warm sensation enveloped him, making his senses momentarily fade. He swallowed nervously, feeling his ears burning and his face flushing red with embarrassment and admiration. It was as if her presence had the power to leave him spellbound, rendering him momentarily breathless in her enchanting presence.

"Awe look at you, all grown up. My smelly nappy baby" Jimin cooed pinching the boy's cheeks with love.

"Yah~ not in front of her at least" He whisper-screamed tugging at the former's arm. Jimin chuckled and stepped back, giving them space, Venom moved closer to Taehyung, her eyes locking with his. Taehyung's heart pounded loudly in his chest, feeling the intensity of her gaze as she wrapped her arms around his torso, drawing him into a warm birthday hug.

Every nerve in Taehyung's body seemed to tingle with electricity, and he struggled to maintain his composure, his cheeks now a deep shade of crimson. His breath hitched, caught in the mesmerizing moment of intimacy, as her eyes seemed to delve into the depths of his soul. It was as if time itself paused, allowing them to share a profound connection in this tender embrace, etching this special moment in the fabric of their intertwined destinies.

Indeed, the devil had the angel enchanted under her spell. And Taehyung never wanted to escape this enchanting spell anyway. He wanted to stay blinded by her love... Forever.

"Happy birthday baby boy"

In a voice that seemed to carry the essence of mellowness, Venom whispered softly, her words a delicate caress against Taehyung's ear. It was a sensation that sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, surrendering to the moment.

Jimin observed the exchange, noticing Taehyung's reaction to Venom's whispered words. A knowing smirk played on his lips as he recognized the familiarity of the situation, remembering his own early days with Jungkook. He missed his boyfriend, but he understood the nature of Jungkook's job, being an assistant to wing man is not easy is it? But, little that Jimin knows what he assisted with and whom. However, knowing Jungkook had promised him a whole night for themselves, Jimin felt content and reassured.

The girl moved to break the hug yet Taehyung attempted to return the embrace, but Jimin swiftly intervened. Grabbing Taehyung's arm, Jimin gently pulled him forward. "Save your hormones for later, young man, we got a cake to cut"

------------------------

Jimin clapped turning the lights off and leaving the lit candles to cast an otherworldly glow around the space. It felt magical. As Jimin handed the knife to Taehyung, a never-faltering, wide smile graced his lips. The sheer joy he felt in that moment was unparalleled, for he had his two most cherished people celebrating his birthday with him. He wished to savor every second, yearning for time to stand still, as if he could forever dwell in this happiness.

With the sweet melody of their united voices filling the air, they bid the boy a happy birthday. The warmth and happiness in her heart were evident, and being in this loving atmosphere captivated her in ways she never imagined. This world, so filled with emotions and connections, fascinated her, and she yearned to explore it more, guided by Taehyung, Jihyun, and now Jimin. The bonds between them grew stronger, and together, they ventured into the uncharted territories of life, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

I wish for you to stay with me like this... Always and forever.

He smiled wide staring at her as if she read his thoughts... Of course, she read the eyes of the boy she liked.

"Happy birthday love" she sang softly.

"Thankyou baby" She playfully grabbed Taehyung's wrist directing the piece of cake back into his mouth, drawing close to him. In a surprising and tender moment, sealed the sweet gesture with a soft kiss. It was a moment of unfiltered affection for the two, a bond that would continue to grow and strengthen as they journeyed together through life's highs and lows. Their hearts entwined, and each chapter of their story unfolded with the promise of new adventures and unbreakable ties.

Embraced in each other's arms, they shared a tender and passionate kiss, their hearts speaking a language only they understood. Their lips met with an intensity that mirrored the depth of their emotions, both fully immersed in the enchanting moment.

As they pulled back, their smiles illuminated the room, a testament to the happiness they found in each other's presence. Foreheads resting together, they reveled in the intimacy of the shared experience.

It was a beautiful moment for both, the devil and the angel.

A moment where the two molded to produce golden precious moments, away from sorrows, away from darkness, away from the approaching bitter future. They lived the moment in their peace and warmth.

Intertwining their souls with a promise of being side-to-side with each other always and forever.

Everyone makes promises but only some keep them. The question here is will they keep theirs or not?
